I'm not going to let the guy who runs the forums dictate me. If I sense or
feel like someone is hounding me I can back out. I still love rec.gardens.
Don't get me wrong there honey. just an observation was all.

I visited GardenWeb the other day. Interesting. LOTS of
diversified topics
concerning all sorts of plants. Even some forums with
specifics, like
Gardening in Tennessee. And a place for new forums, made me
think ....hmmmm
a lot of us from Wreck.gardens could visit there and smooze and
name the
forum "rec.garden refugees" or maybe back yard chatting from
the
neighborhood of rec.garden" there are no restrictions other
than language.
and 99% of us are pretty good at that anyway out of common
respect. I've not
given up on wreck.gardens, just thought it was interesting.
my two cents worth.

GardenWeb (it's free but they don't mind a donation to help run
things even
more efficiently if yer inclined)



The guy that runs the forums (fora?) on GW has the reputation of
being rather dictatorial. I sometimes (rarely) visit the bonsai
group there, but so many of the questions are about "mallsai"
(supermarket "bonsai") the visits usually are brief.

And web-based boards are clumsy.
